Borla ATAK Exhaust for FL5

[Jester04]

Can you share the data and conclusions you were able to draw from your testing of the Eventuri intake on @PointByPatrol 's car? I recall you mentioned it was moving a lot of air. What does that mean exactly for performance, consistency, and IATs? How did it perform relative to the stock panel filter? Also, why a drop in panel filter and not one of the intake systems (Eventuri, PRL HVI, Blitz, GruppeM) on the market?

So data sadly was limited due to the unfortunate accident that @PointByPatrol had. But I saw a consistent gain of about 5g/s through the MAF sensor which means more air was coming through on every log. IAT’s were similar to stock since it draws air from the same place and there is no change to the snorkel. A place I think might be worth some R&D to develop one that picks up air better without blocking too much airflow.

For consistency I mean that the more air you get obviously more power can be made. Now speaking specifically of IAT’s that is the single biggest power killer aside from bad quality fuel. The car really kills power with high IAT’s.

The only reason I recommend the drop in filter is just because of cost. You get a bit better performance not as much as an intake. But still some gains are there for pennies on the dollar compared to the intakes. Unless you are moving some serious air with a bigger turbo the stock box won’t be a limitation.

Another factor that needs to be considered regarding IAT's and the data that I was able to provide was the steady increase in ambient temperatures as the season transitioned from winter to spring. I'd imagine an extra 5g/s would take a little bit longer to heat since the volume of air charge had increased. Ultimately the biggest limiting factor will be the turbo once everything gets hot due to it's size.

Actually the more air that is compressed the more heat it will produce. But still I found them to be consistent. I still have to get more data to put up actual data for you guys.

We have some in stock if interested. Haven't had anyone send us or upload any clips yet.

Somewhat adjacent but my DE5 is with Borla right now as they are fitting the Atak exhaust to it (based off the FL5 version).

I'll be sure to offer insights on the ITS forum and here if that's welcome.

Any sound clips of this setup yet?

How much can you do on one with carbon tips? I have anf fl5 with fbo for testing if need it

Are there any sound clips out there besides what Borla has on their website?

$2800 and slip fit is crazy in a bad way

Best sounding exhaust based on videos ive seen though

One of the best exhaust for the FL5 but price is just insane

It sounds gnarly as hell, but I think it’s too aggressive for me personally. I also don’t love the look of the CF tips or that support bracket thing. I think they sell it with stainless tips tho, which would be what I’d go with.

While I do think it’s expensive, there aren’t many cheaper that include the valve.
